8/28/24-Lovely Lane and Good Shepherd lots are full. There are still plenty of spaces at Good Shepherd.
Parking space at Kennedy High School and neighboring churches is very limited, therefore restrictions and permits are necessary and enforced. Students are encouraged to carpool, or take the bus or alternative forms of transportation.
Only Seniors and Juniors may park in the school lot with a valid parking permit. There is no charge for these permits.
Students MAY NOT apply for a parking permit until they have a license or school permit. We cannot save/reserve spots.
Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, Lovely Lane Church and Oakland Church of the Nazarene offer permit parking. The cost of the permit for the 2024-2025 school year is $120. Parking permits are sold in the Main Office.

Frequently asked questions
What do I need to get a parking permit?
*A completed vehicle registration form is required for every vehicle parked on campus or in one of the church lots.
*Students must use their school Google account to sign up online for a parking permit.
*Students must have a valid driver’s license or school driving permit. This must be presented when you pick up your parking pass.
What are the regulations for a parking permit?
*The parking permit sticker must be adhered to the rear window-upper corner opposite the driver.
*Students may only park in the lot designated on the permit and in designated areas outlined in the Parking Agreement.
*Students are only allowed ONE permit sticker at any given time. If a new permit sticker is needed, the old one must be returned before a new one can be issued.
*Parking permits are NOT transferable to other students. Students are liable for the parking permit that they are assigned.
*If you need to drive a different car than the one you originally registered, you must inform the school by filling out the Temporary Parking Pass Registration form.
Does a parking permit guarantee me a parking spot?
Any Junior or Senior student who applies for a South Lot permit will be granted one but this does not guarantee you a parking space as more permits may be issued than there are spaces available.
If you purchase a parking permit from a church, you will be guaranteed a parking spot.
Note: If the church lot has an event, students in those lots will receive email notification and must find alternative street parking during that event. They may not park in the school lot.
I have a parking pass but my lot is full. Can I park in any open spot?
Your parking pass is only good for the lot indicated on the pass. You may NOT park in other areas or restricted areas and may be ticketed.
If your designated lot is full, you must park on a side street around Kennedy. Be aware that many of the closest streets may have a 2-hour parking limit, while some streets may have different rules depending which side you park on. Do no block driveways and be courteous to our neighbors.
How do I sign up for a parking permit?
Kennedy uses an online Parking Application Google Form for students to enter their intent to reserve a parking permit. The form will be turned on each evening at the designated time listed on the chart above. Students should then come in on the scheduled time to pick up their permit. The form can only be accessed through the student’s school account.
Students who sign up for a church lot are not guaranteed a permit until it is paid for.
Once school begins, the form will be not be locked. Students can sign up and come in the following day to pick up their permit.
What if I need to drive a different car to school? Can I use my parking permit for another car?
Parking permits are assigned to one car only. If you need to park a different car, you must fill out the Temporary Parking Registration form then stop by the Main Office to receive a Temporary Parking Pass. This parking pass will include an expiration date. Click on the link below.
If you get a different car and need to make a permanent change, you must go to the Main Office to register this change. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Deklotz in the Main Office.
Temporary Parking Pass Registration
I’m a senior. Am I guaranteed a North Lot parking permit?
Seniors are not guaranteed a North Lot parking permit. There are a limited number of North Lot parking permits available. These are distributed each semester to those who meet certain criteria-usually those students who have off-campus classes BEFORE coming to Kennedy such as building trade or Kirkwood classes. Other reasons may be considered if space is available. North Lot permits are only good for one semester. Students must show they meet the criteria to retain the permit for second semester. Students who qualify may apply second semester for a permit. If they receive a North Lot permit, they must turn in any other parking permits-you can only have one parking permit at a time.
Student must not have any outstanding fines, must demonstrate good school attendance, and good academic achievement.
Students will be notified if their application is approved and when they can pick up their permit-usually the first week of school. Do NOT come on the early pick up dates.
Those who do not qualify will automatically receive a South Lot parking permit.
I do not have my driver’s permit yet (but soon), can I apply now to insure I get a parking spot?
You cannot apply for, or pay for, a parking permit until you have your driver’s permit or license. We do not hold spots.
What if I lose my parking sticker?
The cost for a replacement parking sticker is $15. Please see Mrs. Deklotz to request a replacement.
Troubleshooting
*I will be out of town during my pick up days—– If you have registered for a South Lot pass, you can pick it up at any time after the initial pick up dates. If you have registered for a North Lot pass, you must wait for an email from the school which will inform you if you have qualified for the pass and when you can pick it up. If you do not qualify, you will be notified that you can pick up a South Lot pass. If you have registered for a church lot, we cannot hold spaces for you. Please come in as soon as you can. Note-Lovely Lane will always sell out first due to limited spaces. If you will not be here on pick up dates, please choose Oakland Road or Good Shepherd.
*The form is not giving me access—– You MUST use your student school Google Account to access the form.
*I’m a new student and I do not have an account yet. How do I apply for a parking permit? —— If you have not yet been set up for an account, please stop by during the appropriate parking pick up dates and we will help you fill out the form.
*My student did not receive the email with the information—— First, have your student check all email folders, including spam. If you still cannot find the form, please let us know-they might not be set up to receive school communications in Infinite Campus.
*How can I get the affidavit signed so my student can get their Student Driving Permit? ——Students may come to the Main Office and we will assist you in getting the forms signed.
*What if spaces run out? ——– While we cannot promise you will get your first choice, we have yet to run out of parking passes.
*Do I still have to pay full price if my student purchases a church lot pass mid year? —— The churches are the ones who receive the money for parking passes, not Kennedy, and they determine the fee structure for the passes. Past practices have been for the churches to reduce the rate in half at the second semester. As long as students show respect for their parking areas, we assume this arrangement will continue.
